James Madison University is located in Harrisonburg, Virginia with an enrollment of about 19-20,000 students. First off, a great thing about this university is that it is a good medium sized school and it offers lots of majors and minors. Another great thing about JMU is that being located right in Harrisonburg, if there is anything you need off campus, it is a short walk to any essential you may need. The requirements needed to attend JMU are a GPA of around a 3.55, an average SAT score between 1120-1290, and an ACT score of 23-28. Overall, I thought it was a very nice school that was easy to get around and is a great medium sized school.

All in front of an unobservant science teacher, Mr. John Sabol’s 9th grade buddy started a five-foot high fire in the middle of a Physical Science class. The friend then fanned the flame with a fire blanket in hopes of extinguishing it, but ended up caking the entire room in a layer of antique fire extinguisher smoke instead. “By the time he got out the fire extinguisher, I was on the ground crying. I remember the next class we were in he came in late and received a slow clap by the entire room,” Sabol said. The unfortuitous friend received an in-school suspension and lost his “safety points” for the day.
